Carla does candida make you stiff and sore when it rains/ sorry you are not feeling good. A long time ago I had cnadida and took Nystatin for a LONG time, was so long ago not really sure about those problems. do know it was my first REALLY bad health experience. Not sure Dr's i know now would knpw about that problem, do you have to watch sweets? Raing here too and even tho cooler I have to keep house shut or I might be having pnuemonia..lots of mold and that fits/ candida..right? Feel for you, hope better soon!! :)

Rinne I really want to see your quilt project on here, sounds unique. Is it of the crazy quilt pattern? Makes me wish I could work on another necktie cushion top or?? But I have too much problem with r. wrist, just read that low thyroid (I have) can cause wrist and etc problems. Just thankful I can still quilt/ our Dorcas group even if have to wear protector on wrist. Several of you mentioned the quilt program I watched and want to x out the hgtv url, sounds very interesting!! :) Has me curious. A lot of beauty in some of the quilts in books and for real. Our quilt group has quilted a bunch of quilts from another state that have been so beautiful, when one of their club leaves they make her a frienship quilt & those have been a work of art. There are only 2 of us who have made quiilts from scratch but the rest have learned the art of tiny stitches so we are in demand to quilt for others. then we can use the money we earn wherever we see the need.

Our local TTT club will be putting on a quilt show in sept., I have taken some of my quilts for display in past. have given 1 to each of 3 daughters, each of 6 gr children as twin bed quilt when small and large quitl when they got married. Just gave gr. son his a few months ago, will be married 12/31/06...wanted it out of the house so they all had theirs.

Early post got in way past subject, anyway it caught up. watching that storm down Forida way, hoping it

FIZZLES out. Have good day all. evie

Evie, I'm not really sure. I just know that candida can get worse when it rains, but rain wouldn't affect gluten intolerance. I thought I had a candida problem, and that led me to discovering my gluten intolerance. But whether or not I really had candida, I don't know.

I'm feeling awful. I'm trying to find if there's someone I can see, but I have so little trust in docs, I don't know who to go to!

I know what you mean about Dr's, my Univ. dr. was to have me back last month but have not heard yet. Maybe he is waiting till my 6 mo. x up from time I saw him in May. has not done as much testing as i thought he would. It is a long way up there. Still having more problems than think I should. All think that I think..

Heard on noon news that Ernesto had been down graded, that is good news, hope it stays that way..

take care all...evie :)

Carla... you might want to ask for a B12 test... they don't usually do that with a normal CBC... just a thought.....

I don't know if he tested B12 or not, but I had read on this board that it can help, I also have read that you can't really overdose, so I started taking sublingual B12 a few days ago to see if it made a difference. So far nothing.

I like hearing thoughts though because I highly doubt that a doctor will be able to figure this out for me. If he does, it will be a first for me ever.

CARLA, please DO get a B-12 test! If you need B-12, you probably would need a lot more than what you've been taking sublingually, at least at first. Cecile was so low on B-12 that she had to have a shot every day for a while, to get her built up. So did my sister. Any doctor can help you with this - he doesn't have to be intelligent!!! :P:P:P

Carla--I have to agree with being tested for B12. I know it's not on the regular panel--my doctor had to specify on the order sheet for it.

Celiacs can have Pernicous Anemia where they can't absorb the vitamin from food. The sub-lingual or pills wont work for this--only injections help. A few people on the board have this and could be of more help.

I know what you mean, though about a doctor actually figuring out the *cause* of your fatigue. they're more likely to give you something for the symptom!

But the B12, in my opinion, is worth looking into.

Yes, check into b12 Carla.

I was given b12 by the holostic type doctor I went to based on my hair samples. They are injection. He gave me an injection, then I went about a month later and asked my doctor to test the blood levels. They came back normal (to them), but I don't know what the numbers were. I only had the one injection but I don't have the damage to my intestines.

Hi girls....good to see everybody....

Carla - two months of not feeling well....so sorry. I would go to the naturopath, a friend has had great success with that, and look into injections also.

Cecile - - thinking and praying for you.....

Eveyrbody else - so nice to see you.....I am hungry and tired, will write later...had my job interview, it doesn't seem like a good fit...I had them describe exactly what there was to do besides answer the phones, and there wasn't much at all, except......EXCEL spreadsheets....hardly any visitors, they said maybe one a day, a very quiet office and right next door to my dad's old law firm.....many skeletons.....

But, in present state, I don't really feel fit to make decisions and brain is so muddled, can't think clearly, but I don't think this is a good one for me. In fact, in present state, I don't think I can work right away. :(

love and hugs to all of you - - thanks so much for all your support and kind words, pm's, everything - it means the world.

xoxo

ANDREA, you don't have to have celiac disease or gluten intolerance to have a B-12 deficiency. It's an autoimmune disease, separate from any other autoimmune disease. Maybe you should get re-tested. If you have it, you have to take shots the rest of your life. :(

Thanks everyone for the suggestion of getting tested for B12. Another autoimmune disease ... great ...

When I first went gluten-free, I felt much better, but have been dragging now for two months where I have too little energy to both go to the grocery and cook dinner, so Adam has to go to the grocery for me since he can't cook. Before that, I wasn't as fatigued. Does this sound normal for a B12 deficiency? Would it progressively get worse? I wonder why it would suddenly be a problem? Now, I don't know that there's been a time in the past year or so that I haven't been fatigued somewhat, but it has gotten worse steadily over the past couple months. I emailed my local celiac group and got an email from someone who lives near me who sent her phone number for a doctor recommendation ... I'll give her a call.

Thanks Celia, I'll be sure they test me for both.

Okay one more explanation... :lol: ... your liver holds enough B12 to last about 3-5 years... so depending on if and when you lost Intrisict Factor... your B12 will eventually become lower and lower... so YES.. it can and WILL get progessively worse...

But remember low B12 is a bit different then Pernicious Anemia even though they both deal with B12.

And remember to always ask your doctor don't depend on what anyone says. :)

Okay.. have been having one track mind lately... :o:lol: ... hello to everyone and please know I care about each and everyone of you...

Hurricane update... everyone is still guessing because Cuba will not let our hurricane planes fly over their air space... :blink: ... so the weather guys are just going by what they see on the radar and stuff... as soon as there is more info... I'll be posting... :D

What can cause you to lose it? I was VERY ill about 5 years ago (not celiac related -- doxycycline for 21 days) ... can illness cause you to lose it?

Dingo wish you were on here tonight... having anxiety... uggg

I know we've talked about where you live ... but my memory is pretty bad! Did you say Tampa area? My dad is in St. Pete and owns a bar in Clearwater (I eat there btw, good steaks). You'll be fine, just a little rain by the time it gets to you!!

There wicked, that's for sure. I was one of the first people back on South Padre Island after that category 5 years ago. Very strange, so deserted. My family is from Florida ... been there since around 1900 ... I lived there, but far enough inland that we personally didn't have any problems. We were the area they evacuated to. I was in Austin, TX when a really bad one hit, it was even a bad storm when it got to Austin. It's like tornadoes, there are the really bad ones that freak you out and make you scared of all of them, when really, most of them turn out to be scary storms, but nothing more. I'm sure you'll be okay!! You had your turn already of having a bad one!

Are the folks in good health?

My dad is 78 and would be perfectly able to get himself out of a situation like that, or do the best to get himself protected.

Your son, wife and daughter would also be able to get themselves protected.

It's natural to be concerned and want to do everything possible, even when that would be too much for you. Make sure they know the ropes if they haven't been in a situation such as this before. I wouldn't be at peace either, especially if I didn't give it to Jesus. You can only do what is humanly possible, and that is the best you can do. I keep telling my daughter to do her best and that's all that is expected of her.

Here's what I do, I lie down, I lie still and I count my exhalations to ten over and over again, all the while allowing myself to sink beneath my thoughts, seeing my thoughts as just reflections on the surface of the river as if I am rock settled deeply below all the rushing.

I am so glad the storm has abated and hope that it will be just a rainy night. How is the breathing going? :)

Back to reading the thread, I just wanted to say hello Cecile.

Do you have any excercises you are supposed to do to stave off an asthma attack? An inhaler or anything?

Do you guys ever feel like this?

Yes, every time I travel. :)

Or think about anything stressful, such as life, the universe, and everything...

Especially since the answer is 42 :P

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
